"Salvatore La Rosa started Salvo's in 2023 as an Italian sandwich pop-up that ran on Instagram - place an order by direct message, and La Rosa would deliver sandwiches via moped (then, a bright blue mini-truck). Recently, Salvo's opened in a former shoe-repair store in Ridgewood, where La Rosa is now serving soup, sandwiches, and coffee from a stylish, chrome-and-dark wood-filled space. Though the plan is to later serve small plates at night, Salvo's is, for now, a cozy lunchtime spot, with a sandwich selection"
"If it's on the menu, get the sausage, leek, and potato panini ($19). On a recent visit, it featured pecorino crema, though it's also been served with crema di gorgonzola. The potatoes are tender, and the bread is airy enough to keep the double-carb moment feeling relatively light. The eggplant Parm ($16) is straightforward and reliable. Though slimmer than some versions, it's well-balanced with eggplant, melty cheese, and fresh basil."
Salvatore La Rosa started Salvo's in 2023 as an Italian sandwich pop-up that took orders via Instagram direct messages and delivered by moped and later a blue mini-truck. Salvo's now occupies a former shoe-repair store in Ridgewood and serves soup, sandwiches, and coffee from a chrome-and-dark wood-filled space. Lunch offerings center on classics and experimental sandwiches, including a sausage, leek, and potato panini with pecorino or gorgonzola crema, and a balanced eggplant Parm. Specials like delicate, crispy-topped lasagna and seasonal soups such as white bean and escarole appear intermittently. Nearby new sandwich spots enable a neighborhood sandwich crawl.
